Plot Synopsis and Story Till Now
They say that Love has the power to make a person cross all lines, break every barrier and surpass every expectation. But what happens when lack of understanding and imposed choices cause a man to give this sentence an altogether different meaning?
Ishq Hai, a Pakistani Drama that airs on ARY Digital, is the intense love story of Shahzaib Sadat (Danish Taimoor) and Isra Waqar (Minal Khan).
Shahzaib is a man of discipline, values and who takes his familial responsibilities very seriously. Filthy rich, incredibly handsome, immensely confident and undeniably magnetic and alluring, he is the man of every woman’s dreams.
Shahzaib lives an extremely balanced life and has been the ideal son his whole life. However, the only time he has made a personal decision is by choosing the woman he would want to spend the rest of his life with.
Isra is a young, care-free girl who's innocent, bubbly and naïve. She is the youngest in her family which means she is the apple of everyone’s eye. Isra makes you want to protect her from the minute you lay your eyes on her, and that’s exactly what Shahzaib wishes to do. He wishes to give her the world and much more, be hers as much as she was his.
Shahzaib and Isra are crazy about each other, so much so that they cannot wait to start their lives together. Alas, their families do not agree and forcefully betroth them to other people. While Isra tearfully agrees and gives in to make her family happy, Shahzaib cannot imagine parting from her. After all, she was the sanest part of his life, the light and happiness he had always wished for. He tries to talk to Isra, his family and even Isra’s fianceé, Haaris, who starts showing signs of insanity right from the beginning.
Finally, when no one relents, Shahzaib, pushed into a corner, does the one thing he would have never done, even in his wildest dreams. Not only does he kidnap Isra on her wedding day, but in a situation of frenzy, a manic Shahzaib places a gun on his head, threatening to commit suicide if Isra leaves the house he’s brought her to without marrying him. A horrified Isra, not knowing what else to do, gives in.
If Isra thought that was the hardest thing she had ever had to go through, she was sadly wrong. A few hours later, Isra’s father, Waqar, passes away, unable to take the pain caused by his daughter’s betrayal. All of this could have been avoided had everyone decided to communicate directly, something Shahzaib did try at first.
Isra, now having been disowned by her family and living with the guilt of her father’s death, vows to never let Shahzaib be happy with her. She wants to make him feel pain, the same kind she felt when he imposed marriage on her, while Shahzaib finally feels the gravity of the situation, the severity of his actions. Knowing that Isra would never be happy with him, he choses to fix her relations with her family and give her the one thing she has asked for: a divorce.
Meanwhile, Isra’s brother Hammad has decided he would end his sister’s life, even going to the extent of beating up Shahzaib when he tries to make amends for his wife. Hammad’s wife, Naina, a textbook narcissist, blames Isra for everything going wrong in her life. Shahzaib’s brother, Razaa decides to force Shahzaib into divorcing Isra so that his selfish intentions of marrying Sameera can be fulfilled. Sameera’s sister, Nimra, also dreams of marrying Shahzaib, as promised to her by her Khala-Jaan a.k.a Shahzaib’s mother. And to top it all, Isra’s ex-fiancee, Haaris, proves his insanity by ridiculously obsessing over Isra, wanting to obtain her as if she was a shiny new toy, at any cost.
But as fate would have it, Shahzaib’s emotional turmoil causes him to have an accident. This proves to be a turning point, with Isra reminiscing their happy days and silently praying he gets better. Razaa, having seen the concern Isra had for Shahzaib, starts having a change of heart. He begins to respect her and treat her like his sister-in-law.
Isra’s mother, having heard Shahzaib’s truthful confession at the hospital (when she was admitted), indirectly supports her daughter not to go through with the separation. Isra, who was in double-mind due to the turmoil and love she had started to feel for Shahzaib, rips the divorce papers, silently agreeing to remain married to him and move into his family home. An ecstatic Shahzaib brings his wife home, only to witness Nimra lose her mind one again.
Under tense circumstances, Razaa and Sameera finally get married and Shahzaib and Isra have their Walima with the couple. However, the scheming does not seem to end, this is only the beginning.
Where Shahzaib and Isra are finally trying to put the past behind them and Shahzaib’s love has started to melt Isra’s frozen heart, Khala-Jaan continues to plot their separation along with Sameera and Nimra. In a twist of fate, Haaris now teams up with them. After all, the only thing he wants in the world is Isra.
Will Isra finally move on and fall crazily in love with Shahzaib once again? Will Shahzaib’s unadulterated feelings for Isra get her back to him? Will Shahzaib manage to protect Isra and himself from those around them? Will everyone succeed in separating the couple? Or will Isra make a decision that would shatter Shahzaib forever?
